Whether they are M fanboys or not I would expect them to be honest about wha they are "hearing". As far a bowing at the feet of Bob you are probably correct so it must have been difficult for them to swallow that 24/96 was the end game.

Yes, swallowing that crow must be hard but they will rationalize it somehow....
I've been telling them over at HH that 96/24 and the apodizing filter wasn't nearly good enough since I joined 4 years ago or so. After being ridiculed over and over by them you'd think they would say something regarding my position.....like I am right. Last edited by g997; 12-19-2014 at 12:26 AM. |

24/96 was good enough with digital in the MLP DVD-Audio era. With the lower tolerances in analog, DAC refinement and Beryllium tweeters we can now go into the 384kHz or whatever they have in store for us.
When someone says something is enough I add in mind, - for the moment with what we have now at disposal. Unless you have something that can encompass true infinity I don't think you can ever be right. Last edited by Crion; 12-20-2014 at 04:10 AM. |

I really thought you were understanding there was more out there to be had from our systems. "Good enough" regarding 24/96 perfectly surmises the thoughts regarding M's position here. There has been much more resolution at our disposal for years, not now just because Bob says so. And there never will be "true fidelity" only fidelity that gets us all closer to the truth. Oh and thanks for the favor over at Hitchhikers.......... |

From what I understand the original DSP8000 was designed for 24/196. But something kept them back. The Be tweeter system in the SE's is vastly improved. It deserves the best highres recordings and hopefully MQA could deliver a couple of soundgems to us.
I do regularly visit my uberdealer with DCS vivaldi, MSB stack together with excellent speakers like MBL Extreme, Focal Utopia, YG, Wilson etc. Fantastic stuff with silver disc, but when it comes to streaming they have fell short IMHO. This is where I hope MQA can bring the best highres experience to streaming. It seems to have few if any drawbacks compared to DSD and manageble filesizes. And what favor are you referring to?
